CIS is an ok place to work, but since they are just a franchise or name each individual hotel will have its own culture. CIS is just there to make sure certain standards are met they will not make sure your management treats people a certain way or things of that nature.

Cons

CIS (at least several years ago) really likes to have its front desk workers plug their promotional programs and gives essentially cash spiffs to do so. This can really bog down the staff as they pursue this instead of getting things done that NEED more attention, like overflowing trashes etc. Many workers will always prioritize their own gain over others or logic.

Advice to Management

Realize mistakes happen, instead of berating someone over them it's more productive to nicely make sure a worker knows what they did wrong and what they should do next time.

Learn how to not play favorites and treat everybody equally. I felt like other areas jobs were being left for me to do every week, I had a new job to add to my list. Told me anybody can do my job which made me feel very very unappreciated!

I worked at a location that is family owned. The extended family lives on site , and the elder matriarch felt it necessary to micromanage the smallest details of this straightforward position. I have great respect for my elders, but as an adult I could not endure the painful micromanagement.

Good support by immediate boss. decent vacation, disability and 401K benefits.

Cons

Poor health insurance program - high deductibles. A plethora of mediocrity of hotel product in Radisson brand, and diminishing number of properties. Chopping away at support staff (and high turnover of field staff) erodes performance of Country Inn & Suites properties. Chance in ownership with big promises, but only big debt results. Like family ownership era, big promises, incomplete follow-through.

If you are just getting started in the hotel industry, this is a great brand to develop a foundation. 99% of the hotel are franchised, so research the ownership group. If there are positives about ownership, then you will enjoy the job.

Cons

None that I can think of.

Advice to Management

Continue to develop hotels in areas that are up and coming. The CI&S name is well known in the Midwest, but tends to be overlooked in other areas.
